Have you looked at the newer C version of Axis2/C. Basically, just
like there is Axis1/Java and Axis1/C++ there is also an Axis2/C. AFAIK
you can get hold of the whole message (or just the body) from the
Axis2/C code, without having to bridge any JVM or do any JNI stuff.

I have an old 'C' application that reads a SOAP message directly from a
TCP socket processes it and builds a SOAP response that it sends back.

This has been structured such that the client process can be built using
a standard WSDL file that is created by the 'C' app for that purpose.
Thus the 'C' app can be front-ended by many of the web dev tools
that are available.

Obviously the 'C' code handles processing all the XML/WSDL content in the
SOAP request and response and performs varying operations depending on
what exactly is in the request part.

Whilst this has been OK on a local LAN I'd like to bring the app under Axis
for many reasons and future capabilities.

My problem is I really don't want all the serializing to and from Java
classes
that Axis will do for me because effectively the app already handles the
SOAP message decoding/encoding. I've had a look at the Axis C++ interface
but again that seems to be doing serialisation to/from classes.

Also at this stage I don't want to have to deploy several hundred Java
servers.

So the BIG question...

Is there a way I can let the Axis server communicate with the client process
(just like normal) to receive the SOAP message but then short-cut the usual
processing and simply pass the SOAP out to the 'C' app and finally have Axis
return the SOAP response?


Many thanks for any thoughts/help you can offer
Tim.
